When You Can't Wait For An Ambulance

This program put me off my popcorn right from the get by including one of those threatening and totally false duplication warnings: "Any attempt to duplicate this tape could ruin the tape or your VCR machine." It's a lie, plain and simple. The production itself is very low-budget: husband and wife team Jerry and Elkie Jacobson introduce the tape from someone's living room couch, and then appear at the front of a class, where they teach first aid for: choking, rescue breathing, CPR, bleeding, heart attack, hypothermia, stroke, poisoning, nose bleeds, bites & stings, Lyme disease, heat exhaustion, and even breath holding tantrums. In one respect, the tape covers a wider range of situations than many similar programs--on the other, it omits obvious ones like electric shock. All in all, the low-budget approach (there are some bad glitches) makes this unsuitable. Not recommended. (See CONCERTO! for availability.)
